Mise-en-scene school's essence


The concept which we tried to capture was the standardisation to which the students are subject to: the uniformity in which everyone is turned (tried to turn) into certain model student (through imposal of uniform, haircut, behaviour, etc.). This school conformity is the essence we tried to evoke in this shot, by aligning the characters in two symmetrical rows and dressing everybody equally, conveying a sense of discipline and order which. Being a fairly long-shot with straight angle, there was space for the spacial deepness to be noticed and the sun to hit in only one of the sides of the character's faces, in order to enforce/maximise this equality, this constant conformist view of creating repeated stereotypes.

The essence of St. Georges that we want to convey was the standarization of the school, the authority that St. Georges can demostrate to us and try to give an example to the surroundings and to others. The uniformity that students have, the conformity  with the school that student show to us through the image. The picture is a long shot, straight-angle-shot, direct lighting and grey-white colors.
